The most successful charitable organisations build trust through smart strategy, authentic storytelling, and meaningful connections across every digital and real world touch points.
Whether you’re supporting local mental health, community outreach, or wellbeing services, your website and social platforms should work together to engage, inspire, and activate your audience. Here's how.
People give to people. Sharing real stories about the lives your charity has touched builds emotional connection and shows your impact.
Example: Instead of saying “We support over 300 people,” tell Jane’s story of overcoming her challenge through your service.
Whether someone’s ready to donate, volunteer, or spread the word, the path to action should be smooth and obvious.
Example: Add a “3 ways you can help” section to your homepage or campaign pages.
Supporters want to know their contribution matters. Being open about where donations go and what they achieve builds confidence and loyalty.
Example: Post a monthly “impact round-up” on social media with stats, photos, and a thank you message.
From your website to social media to email updates, consistency builds recognition and reinforces your values.
Example: If your brand voice is warm and hopeful, use it in your donation appeals, thank-you emails, and posts — not just your homepage.
Retention is just as important as gaining new supporters. Keep your community connected through regular, relevant updates that show the ongoing impact of their involvement.
Example: Create a “Supporter Spotlight” series to highlight volunteers or fundraisers monthly.
Your digital presence is more than a communications tool — it’s a chance to show your heart, earn trust, and turn casual visitors into lifelong supporters. In a county like Hampshire, where so many charities do vital work, being clear, creative, and consistent online will help you stand out and sustain your mission.
